Slavery in NY Exhibit

Slavery in New York. A Landmark Exhibition: October 7 to March 5, 2006
New York Historical Society

Slavery in New York, the first of two exhibitions, spans the period from the 1600s to 1827, when slavery was legally abolished in New York State. With the display of treasures from The New-York Historical Society, as well as other great repositories, it focuses on the rediscovery of the collective and personal experiences of Africans and African-Americans in New York City.
